The case is of Italian white marble, fitted with fine quality ormolu mounts and feet, whilst it is surmounted by a finely cast bronze figure of a classical lady reading from an open gilded book on her lap. The eight-day movement features an outside countwheel and strikes hours and half-hours on a bell. The enamel dial is perfect and original as are the gilded 'Breguet' moon hands.
